Is there a way to configure the Viewer to specify a JDBC driver location so the drivers can reside in a location other than the "drivers" directory of the JDBC plugin? We have it working with the BIRT API by setting the OdaJDBCDriverClassPath, but can't get it to work for the Viewer.

Thanks.

You could use something like:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Adding_an_Object_to_the_Application_ Context_for_the_Viewer_%28BIRT%29
or in the beforeOpen of the dataset script in the report get and set
appcontext variables like
reportContext.getAppContext().put("var","val");
